Sayyiduna Abu Qatadah bin Rabi’i (may Allah be pleased with him) narrates: He was with the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) until, on the way to Makkah, at a certain place, he and his companions lagged behind (from the Prophet, peace and blessings of Allah be upon him). His companions had put on ihram, but Sayyiduna Abu Qatadah (may Allah be pleased with him) had not put on ihram. Sayyiduna Abu Qatadah (may Allah be pleased with him) saw a wild donkey (i.e., a zebra), so he mounted his horse and requested his companions to hand him his stick, but his companions did not agree to this. Sayyiduna Abu Qatadah (may Allah be pleased with him) asked them for a spear, but they did not give that either. Sayyiduna Abu Qatadah (may Allah be pleased with him) took it himself, then attacked the zebra and killed it. Some of the companions of the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) ate its meat, and some did not eat its meat. When these people reached the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him), they asked him about this matter. The Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) said: This is food which Allah Almighty has fed you.
